Filing for IR-1. Getting a job

[bootslacky 1]

Hi Guys,

So, we are going the route of the IR-1 and have filed our I-130 and it has been received. While we are going through this process, is it possible for my fiance (who lives in Canada) try to come to the States by getting a job? Is it possible for her to get a full time job down here and be able to reside in the USA on a work visa, while we wait for the IR-1 to do it's thing?

Thanks for all advice.

Assuming your fiance does not have an exceptional ability or is of national interest, no. H1B visas are filed for once a year, in April, for work starting in October. You should be well on your way or done with this process by then.

It is what it is. Thanks for the info!
